Hi all,
today i tried a new install on a linux machine. After having installed master CD and porting set I tried the update CD named "Update CD for UNIX - Baan IVc4 including extensions US English with Italian Localization".

The preinstallation checks failed and I was suggested to check the "$BSE/log/log.preinst" file.

I did check it, but I didn't find anything wrong. The installation stop after printing "CHECK FIXES" and the last part of the log.preinst is:
-------------
tfB40Lc4cnt0->B40 c4
tiB40Lc4cnt0->B40 c4
cpB40Lc4mcr0->B40 c4
ATTN: a derivation structure exists

CHECK CLIENT

CHECK FIXES

End of preinst: 062706113050
-------------

Is it possible to skip these tests and restart installation? Or, is there any way to find errors using this file?

Thanks,
Giuseppe

Hi there,

in my book of spells I found:
NO_PREINST=1;export NO_PREINST

Your book of spell is update and will be cloned, before or later :-)

hi,
is it possible, that you publish or send me the install6.1 (or install.sh)-
shell-script for installation from the cd ?
because i have problems with older install-scripts under linux, already installation for add. languages crashes.

thank you very much

Hi guys,

Did you manage to solve this problem? On this moment I'm doing a fresh Linux installation and are facing exact the same problem as Giuseppe. The installation starts but fails after CHECK FIXES with exact the same output in the $BSE/log/log.preinst as Giuseppe's.

The install script version is 6.1.07/980730. Is yours newers. I can't locate a variable NO_PREINST in the install script, is it located somewhere else?

I also faced the problem that the install script is using a bshell_inst6.1 to execute the installation, however the installation script doesn't create this executable. I solved this problem by copying the bshell6.1 to bshell_inst6.1.

If you did manage to solve this problem please let me know, thanks in advance

Hi all,

I allready found out myself.

- Parameter NO_PREINST=1 add to bse.env file

The error however is not caused by the install script, you need to execute the installation with the correct selection.

1. Install Baan with master CD
2. In case of additional language ( f.i. Dutch )

a. Run the cd.read6.1
b. Select all packages you need including tools and tc,td.etc.
c. Select additional packages ( f.i. nl10 localisation )
d. Select additional languages

3. Run the install6.1 script

In this order the installation runs without any error messages and you don't need to 'hack' installation scripts.

Regards,

JP

can you please publish the install6.1-script,
because my one is very old

thank you
